ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
Vertical Aim Adjustment
The assembly plant properly aims the
headlamps on your vehicle. If your vehicle
has been in an accident, have the alignment
of your headlamps checked by your
authorized dealer.
8 feet (2.4 meters)
A
Center height of lamp to ground
B 25 feet (7.6 meters)
C
Horizontal reference line
D
1. Park the vehicle directly in front of a wall
or screen on a level surface,
approximately 25 feet (7.6 meters) away.
2. Measure the height of the headlamp bulb
center from the ground and mark an 8
foot (2.4 meter) horizontal reference line
on the vertical wall or screen at this
height.
Note: To see a clearer light pattern for
adjusting, you may want to block the light
from one headlamp while adjusting the
other.
3. Switch on the low beam headlamps to light the wall or screen and open the
hood. 4. On the wall or screen, you will observe
a flat zone of high intensity light located
at the top of the right hand portion of the
beam pattern. If the top edge of the high
intensity light zone is not at the horizontal
reference line, you will need to adjust the
headlamp.

5. Locate the vertical adjuster on each
headlamp. Turn the adjuster either
clockwise or counterclockwise in order
to aim the headlamp.
6. Close the hood and switch off the lamps.
Horizontal Aim Adjustment
Horizontal aim is not required for this vehicle
and is non-adjustable. REMOVING A HEADLAMP
1.
Make sure the headlamp control is in the
off position and open the hood.
2. Remove the pushpin and the four screws
from the headlamp assembly.
3. Carefully pull the headlamp assembly as
far as possible toward the front of the
vehicle to disengage it from the lower
fixing point.
4. Carefully lift the outer side of the headlamp and remove it.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector. CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
The vents in the exterior lamps allow for
normal changes in pressure. Condensation
can be a natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp assembly
through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the
temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can
form on the interior of the lens. The thin mist
eventually clears and exits through the vents
during normal operation. Clearing time may
take as long as 48 hours under dry weather
conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•
Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip
marks or droplets).
• Fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
293
MKC (TME), enUSA MaintenanceE171165 E171166

Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually
caused by a lamp water leak) are:
•
Water puddle inside the lamp.
• Large water droplets, drip marks or
streaks present on the interior of the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if
any of the above conditions of unacceptable
moisture are present.
Replacing High Intensity Discharge
Headlamp Bulbs (If Equipped)
The headlamps on your vehicle use a high
intensity discharge source. These lamps
operate at a high voltage. When the bulb
burns out, have the bulb and starter capsule
assembly replaced by your authorized
dealer. Replacing Front Indicator Bulbs 1. Turn the bulb socket counterclockwise
and remove it from the headlamp
assembly.
2. Gently pull the bulb straight out of the socket.
Install the new bulb in reverse order.
Replacing Signal Indicator Mirror Bulbs
Your vehicle uses a LED for the signal
indicator mirror lamps. If replacement is
required, see your authorized dealer. Replacing Approach Lamp Bulbs
Your vehicle uses a LED for the approach
lamps. If replacement is required, see your
authorized dealer.
Replacing Tail, Brake and Direction
Indicator Bulbs
Your vehicle uses a LED for the tail, brake
and direction indicator lamps. If replacement
is required, see your authorized dealer.
Replacing Reverse Lamp Assembly
Your vehicle uses a LED for the reverse
lamps. If replacement is required, see your
authorized dealer.

CLEANING THE ENGINE
Engines are more efficient when they are
clean because grease and dirt buildup keep
the engine warmer than normal. When washing:
•
Take care when using a power washer
to clean the engine. The high-pressure
fluid could penetrate the sealed parts
and cause damage.
• Do not spray a hot engine with cold water
to avoid cracking the engine block or
other engine components.
• Spray Motorcraft Engine Shampoo and
Degreaser on all parts that require
cleaning and pressure rinse clean. In
Canada, use Motorcraft Engine Shampoo.
• Never wash or rinse the engine while it
is hot or running; water in the running
engine may cause internal damage.
• Never wash or rinse any ignition coil,
spark plug wire or spark plug well, or the
area in and around these locations.
• Cover the battery, power distribution box,
and air filter assembly to prevent water
damage when cleaning the engine. CLEANING THE WINDOWS AND
WIPER BLADES
Car wash chemicals and environmental
fallout can result in windshield and wiper
blade contamination. Dirty windshield and
wipers will result in poor windshield wiper
operation. Keep the windshield and wiper
blades clean to maintain windshield wiper
performance.
To clean the windshield and wiper blades:
•
Clean the windshield with a non-abrasive
glass cleaner.
• For windshields contaminated with tree
sap, chemicals, wax or bugs, clean the
entire windshield using steel wool (no
greater than 0000 grade) in a circular
motion and rinse with water.
• Clean the wiper blades with isopropyl
rubbing alcohol or windshield washer
fluid.
Note: Do not use razor blades or other
sharp objects to clean or remove decals from
the inside of the heated rear window. The
vehicle warranty does not cover damage
caused to the heated rear window grid lines.

Tire Change Procedure WARNINGS
When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not
prevent your vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack, even if your vehicle is in park
(P). WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure the parking brake is set, then block (in
both directions) the wheel that is diagonally
opposite (other side and end of your vehicle)
to the tire being changed. If your vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously
injured. Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel. To lessen the risk of personal injury,
do not put any part of your body under
your vehicle while changing a tire. Do not
start the engine when your vehicle is on the
jack. The jack is only meant for changing the
tire. Note:
Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked. 1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and
turn the engine off.
3. Remove the carpeted wheel cover.
4. Remove the wing nut that secures the spare tire by turning it counterclockwise. 5. Remove the jack from the foam holder.
The lug wrench is located in the left side
storage foam next to the spare tire.
Remove the flat tire retainer strap from
the jack base.

6. Block the diagonally opposite wheel.
7.
Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn
counterclockwise, but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off the
ground.
Note: Jack at the specified locations to avoid
damage to the vehicle.
8. The vehicle jacking points are shown here, and are depicted on the yellow
warning label on the jack. 9. Small arrow-shaped marks on the sills
show the location of the jacking points. 10. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench. Note:
If equipped with full wheel covers with
exposed wheel nuts, remove the wheel nuts
prior to removing the wheel cover or damage
to the wheel cover may occur.
11. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward. Reinstall the lug nuts until the
wheel is snug against the hub. Do not
fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel
has been lowered.
12. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 331

Stowing the flat tire
1. Put the jack and lug wrench away. Make
sure the jack is fastened so it does not
rattle when you drive.
2. Unblock the wheels.
3. Stow the flat tire on the floor in the cargo
area. Secure with the flat tire retainer
strap by following the next steps: 4. Locate the cargo tie-down near the
seatback. Push the loop of the retainer
strap through the tie-down. Thread the
non-loop end through the loop. 5. Weave the retainer strap through the
wheel openings.
6. Locate the front cargo tie-down at the opposite corner of the cargo area to the
tie-down used in Step 4. Thread the
retainer strap through the tie-down and
pull tight.
7. Secure by tying a 2-half hitch knot.
